Talking

I heard that when you get one they fill the bed with speedy dry for the OIL leaks.
With 2 turbo's you'd think it would do more HP than that.

Are the two turbos in series or parallel?

on the commercial they call them "dual" but they are a sequential set up. one little one for take off and then a big one for towing boost.

meh, I am leery of all these "new" diesels. as far as i am concerned, 5.9 all the way!

How can you not be impressed with that?
How about 270hp and 520 with just a dirty intake on a truck rated at 305 and 555? I went and looked at a single cab today (I hide my Dodge at the other end of the lot, but I guess my discrimination was from being a college student with no job) they wouldn't let me take one for a drive unless I was serious about buying that one. (trying to keep the mileage down)

Cool

I personally think that they are great looking trucks------minus the headlights! The interior is freakin awesome compared to the Dodges! The seats are actually comfortable, and they come with factory boost and egt gauges + a brake controller! YES I know that you will pay for it anyway but hey ! If they only had a better engine! I will not own one until the Power Stroke Name gets off the side of them...
